说到游泳池，许多人都会想起一股熟悉的味道。这种刺鼻的味道其实是漂白水、汗液、皮脂、尿液“混合发酵”的产物。没错，有尿。加拿大阿尔伯塔大学的李兴芳教授通过研究发现，一个833立方米的水池含有大约0.08立方米的尿液。而为了让我刚刚学会游泳的妻子可以安心的游泳，我决定保守这个秘密。 By Randy Wright With the weather heating up in Beijing, my wife and I were happy to find a swimming pool not far from home. But it wasn't just the weather. Her heart's desire for years has been to learn how to swim. 北京的天越来越热，我和妻子很高兴在离家不远的地方找到了一个游泳池。这不单单是因为天气炎热，还因为她多年来心心念念的就是学会游泳。 Good hubby that I am, I wanted to help. 作为一个好丈夫，我当然想要帮她实现愿望。 Learning to swim is a bit scary for anyone, regardless of age. My wife, who is in her 50s, was no exception. In the beginning, she thrashed around like a wet chicken and gulped water like a beer-swigging sailor on shore leave. 对任何年龄段的人来说，学习游泳都是一件有点可怕的事情。我妻子当然也不例外，她已经50多岁了。一开始，她只能像一只落汤鸡一样在水里四处扑腾，大口大口地喝泳池里的水，就跟刚到岸的水手狂喝啤酒一样。 |
